Simbone uJesu, elel’emgwembeni;

simbone luMntwana, omuhle oNgcwele.

Wozani sithabe, sithokozisise;

simbone uJesu uMntwana omuhle.

E! nang’uMariya; emkhonza uJesu;

Ke lathi sithanda luMntwana omuhle;

Simkhonza, simbonga ngengoma ezinhle.

Hambani liy’estebeleni, lizafic’uMariya,

Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa uKhakhayi,

bambethela khona kanye labaphangi.

Omunye ngakwesokunene,

omunye ngakwesokhohlo.

Babelana ingubo zakhe;

benza inkatho ngazo.

Abantu bema bembukela,

kodwa ababusi bamklolodela.

Bathi: Wasilisa abanye, kazisilise yena,

uba enguKristu okhethiweyo kaNkulunkulu.

Labebutho bamenza inhlekisa,

beza kuye bemnika iwayini elimunyu.

Bathi: Uba uyiNkosi yabaJuda,

zisilise wena!

Kwakukhona lombhalo phezu kwakhe,

othi: Lo uyiNkosi yabaJuda.

UJosefa waseArimathiya,

wacela kuPhilathu isidumbu sakhe.

Wasigoqela ngamalembu,

wasibeka elibeni lakhe.

Kanti lilele yini? Vukani likhuleke.

Umoya uyavuma, kodwa inyama ibuthakathaka.

Lalani phela liphumule, sekuphelile.

kodwa kawungiphenduli!

Ngiyakhala lasebusuku,

kodwa kangilakho ukuphumula!

Wena ungoNgcwele kalsrayeli,

mina ngiyimpethu, kangisuye muntu.

Okhokho basendulo bathemba kuwe,

Bakhala kuwe, wabakhulula;

bathemba kuwe, kabayangekanga.

Ngizakubatshumayeza abafowethu

Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami,

Kungan’ukhatshana lokungisiza,

Bakhala kuwe, bakhululwa,

Kodwa mina ngiyimpethu, angisumuntu,

Bonke abangibonayo, bayangihleka,

bekhamisa imilomo, benikina amakhanda besithi:

Wathemba kuNkulunkulu,

Nkulunkulu kamsindise nxa emthanda.

Impela nguwe owangikhupha esiswini,

wangimunyisa amabele kamama,

ngaba sezandleni zakho kusukela ekuzalweni kwami,

unguNkulunkulu wami kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngumama.

Ungabi khatshana lami, ngoba

inhlupheko iseduze, kakho losizayo.

Umhlambi wenkunzi ungihanqile,

Inkunzi ezilamandla zaseBashani, zingizingelezele.

Zingikhamisele imilomo yazo,

njengezilwane eziphangayo lezibhongayo.

Ngichithwe njengamanzi,

wonke amathambo ami enyele,

inhliziyo yami injengengcino,

ngincibilikile phakathi kwami.

Umlomo wami womile njengodengezi,

Izinja ziyangibunganela.

Leqembu lababi lingihanqile,

Izandla zami lenyawo zami,

bazibhobozile, ngingabala wonke amathambo ami.

Bayangijolozela bengiklolodela.

Babelana izembatho zami,

benza inkatho ngesembatho sami.

Kwakukhona abanye abaphangi ababili,

ababesiwa ukuba babulawe kanye laye.

Sebefikile endaweni ethiwa ukhakhayi,

bambethela khona kanye labaphangi.

Omunye ngakwesokunene

Wabalayisisa ukuba bangatsheli muntu.

Wathi iNdodana yomuntu imele ihlupheke kakhulu.

Ukuze idelwe ngabadala labapristi abakhulu lababhali.

Ngemva kwalokho ibulawe ivuke.

Ngosuku lwesithathu kwabafileyo.

E! Siphamban’esihle, okwabethelwa kiso,

uNkulunkul’uqobo, ngezono zethu zonke.

E! muthi wokuphila, wathela isithelo,

Uyisivulo wena, sentuba yaphezulu,

esizangena ngayo, ekhaya elimnandi.

E! themba labezono, okwahlawulelwa ngawe,

onk’amacala ethu. E! siyakudumisa.

Gaz’elihle leNkosi, elasusa izono

izono zomhlaba, akusigezise lathi

Gaz’elihle leNkosi, elopha ezandleni,

Gaz’elihle leNkosi, elopha enyaweni,
